[QUOTE="Pingu, post: 6699786, member: 306"] Not being rude but have you ever done costings against a vario on root crop work? Power quad and it’s slightly newer mate auto quad should have stayed in 90’s way outdated now on all fronts! I wouldn’t want to drive a harvester with a geared tractor ever again the gain in output and quality is unreal so I wouldn’t expect my lads to either so vario or modern powershift but vario always works out cheaper in its lifetime with me 5-10k hours. I was growing just shy 400 acres spuds and 300 onions all for packing and my fleet for planting was just along lines [USER=78]@Spud[/USER] but I dropped destoners out due to speed. 2x Fendt 900’s (or have run on 8r JD’s) on baselier’s Fendt 724 on 6m powerharrow on worst bits NH T7.245 vario on planter (overkill but also on harvester) NH T7.210 vario on onion planter/ bringing seed to spuds etc Claas Kramer loading and sorting all fert etc out to keep planter moving. All tractors did irrigation and then also fleet hire JD’s and Fendts carted/irrigated [/QUOTE]
